Trellis Stitch
I'm really excited to have finally found my cable needle so I'm keen to try this pattern. It will certainly be eye-catching and bold in the blanket. I always used to think cabling was a really complicated and scary thing until I tried it one day (using a double ended needle) and realised it was just holding stitches out of the way really and then putting them somewhere else. If you haven't tried cabling I urge you to give it a go with these small squares we are doing. It is a nice little square for a first timer which is less daunting than a whole jumper and as you progress in knitting confidence, it is nice to have something a bit more brain twisting in your repertoire.
This is knit over multiples of 6 so I'm casting on 42 stitches. Sl = Slip cn = cable needle
